For Regulators & Auditors
Maintenance records you can verify, not just review.
Universal Maintenance Passport preserves existing regulatory authority while making maintenance records independently verifiable, tamper-evident, and portable across systems.
UMP does not change regulatory requirements.
It makes compliance provable, portable, and verifiable outside of proprietary systems.
UMP is not a new rulebook. It is a cryptographic enforcement mechanism for the rulebooks that already exist.
What changes. What doesn't.
UMP enhances verification without altering regulatory frameworks or responsibilities.
What changes | What doesn't |
|---|---|
| Records become cryptographically verifiable | Regulatory requirements |
| Evidence is bound to entries | Required content of entries |
| Attribution is provable | Who is authorized to sign |
| Audits are faster | Audit authority |
| Verification works outside vendor systems | Regulatory judgment |
Built for what auditors actually care about.
UMP is designed around audit primitives, not product features.
Authenticity
Did this person perform this work? Every credential is signed by the performing party with verifiable identity.
Integrity
Has the record been altered? Cryptographic hashes detect any modification to records or evidence.
Traceability
Can I follow the chain of custody? Every event links to its issuer, evidence, and prior events.
Completeness
Are required entries present? Structured credentials make gaps visible and queryable.
Auditability
Can I verify this without special access? Yes — verification requires no login, no vendor relationship.
From work to independent verification.
Audit-oriented record flow — not blockchain pipeline, not AI workflow.
Maintenance performed
Work happens as it always has
Authorized party signs
Cryptographic signature applied
Evidence hash anchored
Tamper-evident record created

Independent verification
No login required
Verification possible offline, years later.
Audit packs are self-contained. No vendor access required. No login needed. Records remain verifiable regardless of the original system's availability.
Supporting oversight, not replacing it.
UMP does not replace regulatory judgment.
It preserves regulator authority while reducing manual verification burden. Humans make compliance decisions — UMP provides verifiable evidence so they can make them faster and with higher confidence.
UMP raises the cost of fraud.
By making records cryptographically verifiable, UMP reduces the incentive and opportunity for record falsification — without requiring new enforcement powers or increasing regulatory burden.
Same requirements. Verifiable proof.
Operators using UMP demonstrate a higher standard of record integrity without changing regulations. It's not extra compliance — it's making existing compliance auditable.
Same product. Different regulatory contexts.
UMP supports existing frameworks in the US and anticipates emerging requirements in the EU.
United States
Audit integrity and record authenticity
- Independent verification without vendor lock-in
- Reduced record fraud and post-hoc alteration
- Clear attribution of who signed what and when
- Better long-term retention than PDFs
Supports existing US regulatory frameworks. Operationalizes FAA guidance on electronic records and signatures.
